Member Benefits
Government and Regulatory Affairs
The Kentucky Grocers & Convenience Store Association is a strong voice for the food and convenience store industry. As the saying goes, “If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re probably on the menu.” KGCSA is active in maintaining relationships with legislators, regulatory and government officials. Over the years, the Association has played a role in the egg consolidation law, WIC regulations and more. KGCSA keeps members informed about legislative issues at the state and federal level affecting their businesses.
Networking

Product Recalls
Stay up-to-date with product recall information important to your store! Kentucky Grocers & Convenience Store Association passes on product recall information as a courtesy to KGCSA members. This information is provided to KGCSA by the Kentucky Food Safety Branch.
Association Health Plan
KGCSA membership provides access to quality Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant group health insurance underwritten by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. If you are an employer with fewer than 50 employees, the KGCSA bona fide association program through Anthem allows your business to be considered part of a large group and may possibly deliver lower rates for your business. Even larger employer groups over 50 have the opportunity to obtain substantial savings!
